Hmm.. I’ve been posting too many negative posts lately, haven’t I? I realized that (of course), so now I’m gonna post something good.

But hold up, ‘good’ is not enough word to describe how the service is in this restaurant, Ramen Sanpachi 38. Just like the title says, its main menus are all about Ramen. I did some internet browse and google it, the result: this ramen restaurant is actually existed in other countries. (No wonder it tastes good.)

Anyhoodle, I was first told by Epi of this restaurant. Actually I wasn’t really feeling that enthusiasm over ramen since I had some bad experiences with it. But she told me that this restaurant serves a good quality and tasty ramen, so I decided to give it a shot. I called up Anung, one of my closest friends, asked him what’s his suggestion. (Yes, I didn’t ask the waiter for ‘Chef’s Suggestions’ menu, because I trust Anung’s taste better. Somehow.)

He told me to order ‘Jigoku Ramen’. It’s a spicy and hot ramen (obviously). Speaking of which, I still remember how Anung solo-ed and emptied a full bottle of chili sauce at Pizza Hut while eating pizza.  So, feeling rather curious, I asked him what level of hotness did he order for the ramen. From 1 to 10, he ordered 7.

Anung (still on the phone) : Try level 3 and see if you can handle it.
(At this point, I still didn’t know how hot the ramen is gonna be, and I really believed that I could handle it.)

And so I did. I ordered a Jigoku ramen with a level 3 hotness, curly noodles regular cooked. Oh I forgot to tell you. Here, in this restaurant, you can choose between curly or straight noodles. I prefer curly. Somehow it tastes better, but you can choose either one. And you can ask the waiter whether you want the noodles to be medium-cooked, regular cooked or well cooked. My preference is it to be regular-cooked. As for the drinks, I ordered red/olong tea. It is quite pricy, but it’s refill-able, so it’s good since I drink a lot.

(In case you’re curious, Epi ordered a Curry ramen. It tastes good too!)

Now comes the good parts of this restaurant.
1. The waitresses. They’re all females and they are well-educated of the restaurant menus. They are nice too, of course. I was surprised and satisfied with the explanation. You can try to ask them if you ever visit this restaurant about the menus and I’m sure you’ll know what I’m saying here.

2. It only takes like at most 5 minutes from the order arrived to the Chef and then the ramen came to my table. Fast service! Lovin’ it.

3. Remember the refill-able tea? Everytime I drink my tea ’till it’s only half of the glass, the waitress came to my table and immediately refill it. Seriously dude, you don’t even have to call her. She will spot your glass is half-full and rushed to your table to refill it. I think they got some kind of radar that would tell them if the glass is not full. Who knows.

4. Immediately after I finished my ramen, she cleaned up the table from the empty bowls and replaced them with a dessert as a compliment. (I got a jelly pudding). That was some astonishing quality of service, I must say.

Oh, I haven’t given out my opinion about the ramen, have I? Here it is:
The ramen I ordered, Jigoku ramen, I really have to say that was so far the dangdest, most delicious ramen I’ve ever had. I tasted the soup first and it tasted great. Like I always do when I eat delicious food, I literally smile like an idiot. Next, the noodles. I put it into my mouth and I know that the noodles was fresh. Fresh but soft, it melts when you chew it. This time, I giggled.

Everything was well-served. Jigoku ramen level 3. It is tasty. It is delicious and it is indeed so freaking hot. (Think I said around 10 or more “ohmygod”s and “anjingpedesbangetnihramen”). It’s so hot that I got all-sweaty like crazy. (Don’t ask me how much tissue was spent for wiping my sweat). As I was eating and feasting myself on this fantastic dish, I remember what Anung had. Seriously. I can’t imagine how hot is level 7 gonna be and how the hell can he eat such a hot food like that?

So guys, I really recommend this restaurant to get your visit someday. Maybe at first you’ll see how pricey the menus are, but let me tell you this. It’s all worth the price. (And like I said, Anung’s preference of foods is a must-try or perhaps, a must-follow.) Let me know if you want to know his mobile.
